About Qwan Ki Do


"A Vietnamese martial arts magazine described Qwan Ki Do as " the latest born (martial art) of  Vietnam, but the first one to cross the finish line "

    The QWAN - KI - DO Martial Art method has been founded in 1981 in France, as a result of over 25 years research work accomplished by one of the most prestigious experts of Martial Arts: the Great Master PHAM XUAN TONG. It was created as a synthesis of the Southern Martial Arts from China and traditional Martial Arts from Vietnam, QWAN KI DO comprises various techniques as it follows:

  • Multiple hand and leg techniques

  • Footwork techniques

  • Throws, locks and grappling techniques

  • Leg sweeps

  • Scissor techniques

  • Choreographed fights

  • Self defence

  • CÔNG PHA – Breaking techniques

        In Qwan Ki Do, like in all other Vietnamese Martial Arts, special attention is given to weapon training, CO VO DAO, which starts after the student passes the 1 CÂP exam.

        Another part of Qwan Ki Do is the Tam The. In a few words, you can say that Tam The is a slow movements series bound to reach the unity between body and soul. Being a philosophy (Âm - Dương ) and also a heal method, Tam The, improves both spirit and soul state. To start practising, you first learn the specific movements, with no special skills required. The second level consists of learning the breathing techniques. The third level is combining the specific movements with the inhaling and the mental activity. Thus you can control the vital energy (Khí) through the human body.The final purpose of Tam The is the unity between the body and spirit, by preserving a good health.

    Vu Lan is the traditional dance of the dragon, a way for the students to meet the Asian culture in depth.
